The thing about words is, you can never definitively prove you do care with what you say: maybe it's hollow, meaningless, a lie.
But you can absolutely prove you don't care with words.
And this is one of those times.
Some high level portion of our PAO structure does not care about this man.
Sure sure, that's all well and good, but what if I get the right person's attention online?
(Which is unlikely to occur on this app, granted)
So I could well be the next/first Viceroy of Persia, for all we know? Very well, I accept.
Ok but killing a guy and letting them pick someone new means they might pick another guy we have to kill.
If we pick him, we won't have to do that.
That's just responsible statecraft.
I wish you the best, but disclaimers/carefully chosen words of limitation have a poor track record on social media (ad I'm sure you know very well).
Oh no you're stepping into a cursed discourse.
We're going to look around to see if Cyrus has any living descendants and put them on the throne
Can my milsky navy ppl comment on this? I'm not familiar with the specific hors de combat rules or practices regarding naval vessels.
My guess is it is still a target if it is a military vessel that is potentially heading back into a situation it could be an active participant, but I don't know.
He's a marine colonel who's been socked away commanding ground forces at Guantanamo Bay, where he's made his embarrassment over not getting a more prestigious command the problem of everyone unlucky enough to get stationed there

Did I gratuitously and unnecessarily cite to Thucydides and Clausewitz? Yes.
I also cited to John Yoo, which I'd rather not have but you go to the presses with the sources you have, not the sources you want.
I am a published author. In a journal and everything.
Is it a particularly good or insightful article? No.
Is it timely? Given I wrote it almost 5 years ago (some revisions were made), also no.
It is, however, finished and published.
Wow! That is surely the most interesting news regarding a Montana Senator today
Essentialism (everything must be all or nothing) is a disorder. Literally baby level thinking
Obviously there are a broad continuum of relationships, but I've always been skeptical a lot of open relationships aren't some variant of "I'm going to sleep around. We can stay together and you can be cool about it, or we can part ways."
Which is, if not legally coercion, coercive and shitty still

What about this Scatman?

My neighbor told me missiles keep eating his iranian officials so I asked how many iranian officials he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets new iranian officials afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding iranian officials to missiles and then his daughter started crying.
I love (?) that I even without the labels I know exactly what this chart is by the design alone
We have a fairly vibrant community (ostensibly college football but mostly life and politucs now) on a boards2go site which is so primitive its like a digital step above carrier pigeons.
Promotion idea: Kalshi box of cereal comes with 1 free $5 bet on Kashi. That and a maze on the back; those are always neat.
Context.
There's a big difference between "rando doesn't know who guy is" v "guy retweeting doesn't know who guy is." There's some diligence, moreso if they're a sizeable account and you're a public figure.
That, and the whole Nazi tattoo. Sort of lose the benefit of the doubt once you have one
A map of Iran showing a mighty tempting coastline. Just hand waive insane logistics issues and voila!
Why not simply use the ocean? It'll be like DDay, but staged from, like, Guam (which would give INDOPACOM something to do). How hard could it be?
Replying to @Ahmadinejad1956 and @Kaepernick7 Dear Mahmoud, We have much bigger problems here. #Michigan is 8-8 in its last 16 games under @CoachJim4UM . #GoBlue Also, college football is the only authentic football. Cordially, Fred Mahmoud Ahmadinejad @Ahmadinejad1956 With a hard work ethic Inshallah the U of M will return to its glory days.
I'll never forget that time he predicted my alma mater's (Michigan's) return to greatness, for some reason.
Nothing like rolling into a Monday morning with virtually no sleep (for no good reason other than I couldn't). Awesome!

Bought a sous vide machine, mostly on a whim. First attempt: turkey legs. Succulent, moisture, delicious.
Tomorrow: ribs
